Interestingly, there are now more Saturn 1b kits available as well. Maybe clearing out the parts bins? Also, there's likely been a rush of kit buying. I know I have been.

The Saturn 1b probably has a lot of extra parts that wouldn't be for sale. Maybe he's clearing out that stuff. Hopefully stuff like nose cones, tubes, transitions for the other discontinued kits will still be available on demand for those few people interested in building repro Mini Max kits.
